Following the parents’ report, the apartment in which Lucie was found had already been targeted by investigators. “The technical investigations tended to demonstrate, at least sometimes, the potential presence of Lucie in this apartment” declared Sofian Saboulard. As reported by our colleagues from Le Parisien, it is a dog specialized in detecting human life, which made it possible to detect the presence (by heat) of Lucie in this apartment. Prosecutor Sofian Saboulard clarified that it was a “voluntary disappearance”.
The teenager is currently being questioned by the national gendarmerie.
